These Celebrity Couples Nailed Red Carpet Style at the Emmys

On Sunday night, the 2019 Emmy Awards—otherwise known as television’s biggest night—will take place in Los Angeles. The 71st annual awards show will honor the best shows of the year, with series such as Game of Thrones, Veep, and Chernobyl leading the charge. In honor of the glitzy soirée, Vogue is taking a look back at some of the best moments on the red carpet—and in particular, the best-dressed duos who have walked it together.

Going way back to the late ‘90s and early aughts, some stylish pairs—a few of whom are still together, while others have since split—showcase the very best of retro-leaning fashion. Who could forget that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston moment in 2000 when Aniston wore a minimal strapless red gown—with a tiny satin shoulder bag!—and Brad a streamlined suit. Or how about in 2008 when Ellen DeGeneres played up wife Portia de Rossi’s emerald slip dress with a garden-themed flower pin secured onto her vest.

As for more recent couples? In 2017 Gabrielle Union—who attended the Emmys for the first time that year—looked chic in a beaded cape gown by Zuhair Murad, while Dwayne Wade was dapper in a tux by her side. That same year, Nicole Kidman—who won the Best Actress category for her work in Big Little Lies—also wowed in a red gown with a tight bodice and full skirt, designed by Raf Simons’s Calvin Klein By Appointment; husband Keith Urban supported her in a classic black suit with a matching tie.
